This is pretty far out

Everything is free because everything is center of the world. It doesn't exist in its true sense as a one of many. One is many at the same time. When we realize this, to express itself or to create itself is to-- to give your self in your true function: that is creativity. And is not bound by some other thing. And it is not caused by your past experience. It is a quite new event for you. It is one side of the reality, or one side of our practice. .--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-19-C as found on shunryusuzuki.comCopy and paste the name into the search box there to get to the transcript.. Edited by DC - Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. - Go to cuke.com What's New [now at blogger] to see more daily posts.
